New Mitsubishi Strada [ARCHIVED]

Share ko lang mga bro

For newbies or people who dont fiddle with their donuts or rubbers, its good to understand some common simple terms and references. Please correct me if any of these are incorrect, I am just putting down what I know with some references.

In the above picture, the Right side faces the outside, and the Left faces the chassis/brakes/vehicle body.

RIM DIAMETER - This is what people always say, a 15 inch or 16 inch rim. What upsize to 18", it is the diameter of the circle of of the inner or outer edge of the rim.

CENTRE DISC - This is the plate or spoked part of the rim that gives you the holes for you to screw your rims to your vehicle. Steel rims are usually a thin flat plate in the centre, alloy rims have more interesting designs and the spokes can be in various designs, but the mounting surface is still flat and in the centre of the wheel.

OFFSET - If an imaginery line is drawn in the middle of the rim (centre rim), the centre disc, mounting disc or plate, whatever you call it may not be on that line. If the centre disc is in the centre of the rim, it is a zero offset rim. If the centre disc is closer to the outside facing part, it is negative offset and if it is nearer the inner side, its positive offset.

PCD - The Pitch Circle Diameter is the diameter of an imaginery circle (bolt circle) drawn through the bolt/nuts/wholes of the rim.



Bolt Pattern - Most rims are designed to be bolted with 4 or 5 nuts, less on 6 and even less on 8 nuts. These nuts are usually evenly spread out evenly on the bolt circle.

RIM WIDTH - This is how wide the rim is, one edge to the other. This is useful to know when you fit different thread width tyres. Tyres usually have a window of tolerance to fit different rims, but a rim using 175 wide tyres probably cannot change to a 275 wide tyres on the same rim.

Commonly seen 'specs' for rims: 17x10 ET 20 or 4x100. The first means rim diameter 17 (inch), rim width 10 (inch) and Positive 10 (mm) offset. The 2nd means 4 holes, PCD 100mm


Pasensiya na po medyo mahaba sana medyo makapag bigay nag idea ito.

I got my 3.2 strada yesterday, my average fuel consumption on 150km highway driving is 12.3 km per liter, for my city driving is only 6-7km per liter, is it normal for the city driving?

congrats on your new ride and welcome to tsikot. medyo malakas ang consumption mo pero nasa acceptable level pa naman. madami kasi factors affecting FC so from time to time check your FC kung mag-improve.

ano pala color ng strada mo and from where are you?

Congratulations on your new ride. I do have 10 to 12 K/li on highways..and I think around 9 to 10 K/li sa city. Being a new vehicle, I am not really much worried on the FC of my truck. It should improve after doing more kms.
